Sir William Wallace (c. 1276 – August 23, 1305) was a Scottish patriot who led his country against the English occupation of Scotland and King Edward I of England during significant periods of the Wars of Scottish Independence.Tradition often describes Wallace as 'one of the common people', contrasted to his countrymen, such as Robert the Bruce, who came from noble stock. Wallace's family descends from Richard Wallace the Welshman, a landowner under an early member of the House of Stuart, which later became royal lineage.
An insignificant amount of comprehensive and historically accurate information was written about Wallace. Many stories, however, are based on the wandering 15th century minstrel Blind Harry's epic poem, "The Acts and Deeds of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elderslie", written around 1470. Historians disagree with parts of Blind Harry's tale, or dismiss the entire composition. In the early 19th century, Sir Walter Scott wrote of Wallace in Exploits and Death of William Wallace, the 'Hero of Scotland', and Jane Porter penned a romantic version of the Wallace legend in The Scottish Chiefs in 1810. 20th century Nigel Tranter authored an intended fiction titled The Wallace, which is academically suggested more accurate than its literary predecessors, and was published in 1996. Although criticized, the most recent account of the life of William Wallace is the 1995 film, Braveheart, directed by Mel Gibson and written by Randall Wallace.
While some suggest Wallace was born around 1270, the 16th century volume History of William Wallace and Scottish Affairs claims his year of birth at 1276. Due to the lack of conclusive evidence, the Wallace's birthdate and birthplace are disputed. Traditionally, the birthplace of William Wallace is claimed to be Elderslie, near Paisley in Renfrewshire; although, a biographer recently suggested that his birthplace was closer to Ellerslie, near Kilmarnock in Ayrshire. In support of the Ellerslie origins, some proposed that William's traditional father Malcolm Wallace of Elderslie, a knight and vassal to James the Steward, actually came from Riccarton, Ayrshire, and Malcolm's wife from nearby Loudoun. Additionally, some of Wallace's earliest actions were in Ayrshire. To the contrary, the Elderslie origins are defended with the arguments that Ellerslie is a former mining village known only from the 19th century, but Elderslie is known from earlier. Wallace's first action was at Lanark, which isn't near either Elderslie or Ellerslie, and afterward he moved into Ayrshire to join some Scots nobles who were fighting the English at Irvine.
The 1999 rediscovery of William Wallace's seal further enshrouds Wallace's early history in mystery. While tradition claims Sir Malcolm Wallace of Elderslie as the father of three sons, Malcolm, John, and William Wallace, the seal identifies William as the son of Alan Wallace of Ayrshire, who appears in the Ragman Roll of 1296 as "crown tenant of Ayrshire". Dr. Fiona Watson in "A Report into Sir William Wallace's connections with Ayrshire", published in March 1999, reassesses the early life of William Wallace and concludes, "Sir William Wallace was a younger son of Alan Wallace, a crown tenant in Ayrshire". Historian Andrew Fisher, author of William Wallace (2002), writes, "If the Alan of the Ragman Roll was indeed the patriot's father, then the current argument in favour of an Ayrshire rather than a Renfrewshire origin for Wallace can be settled".Wallace was educated by two uncles, who joined the priesthood, in French and Latin. Blind Harry does not mention Wallace's departure from Scotland or that Wallace had combat experience prior to 1297. A record from August 1296 references "a thief, one William le Waleys" in Perth.
in reference to styles of golf course grass. Is it for a golf course nearby?
I know highland works...I'm not stupid...
I just smell a rat......somethings got me worried....
I am going to continue to spin stuff....why??
rex =recs
I still love this noodle....and they can't put us in a rec center until clue 12...
From Highland Park golf course website
he can't
I'm not a big Highland fan because of the obvious references but I do like this find OG.
all he needs to do is pay $10....
I think he can afford it
Each of the clues has made reference to something along 7th street. The Swarm plays at the X located on the corner of 7th and Kellogg. PearsonÂ’s Candy is on 7th. AlaryÂ’s Bar is on 7th and the ChildrenÂ’s museum is located on 7th. I also believe there is potentially a theme regarding Bears. The newest attraction at the ChildrenÂ’s Museum is the Berenstain BEARS. AlaryÂ’s bar where the VulcanÂ’s got into trouble is also a Chicago BEARS bar on Sundays. The ad campaign for the Pearson Mint Pattie features a Polar BEAR
And thanks for the updates on the clue thread too. Even if you read this entire thread you always catch something new in there. Especially because you're including noodles from other places as well. Good job!
hooked up with a long-time friend, Chris, this A.M.... at like 3, and headed out.... we hit Highland, first...
Noticed that the statue in the park, of the war hero, or whatever was stolen.....
not cool.....
hung out there for nearly 2 hours, gettin re-aquainted with the park, since neither of us had been there since '03 or so.....
I dont like it.... er.... maybe I dont get THE feeling there....
I hate when that happens....
afterwards, we ended up at Mounds.... dont like it there either.... and then parts of Battle Creek...
the parking in the lower end (nearest to 61) was closed off... which could mean nothing at all....
just noting it....
walked around the woods/sledding area, near the rec-center/magnet school.....
dont know yet with that area....
also cruised Prosperity Rec....
I think.... if we're going the "rec" route.... for some reason, I like this place..... I want to go back and look more.... if anyones down, lemme know....
lastly... we backtracked, and hit Cherokee....
had our only run-in with other hunters there, a couple guys who seemd to be bothered by our presence, and talkative nature, and willingness to share idea's...
didnt find the medallion there, but I did strike gold....
since theres no "other stuff found, while hunting" thread... I'll post my first discovery here...
found: a mint condition DVD - no scratches or anything...

I know you guys know this...just thinking outloud right now...
Start amending your list, Kitch.
2 of the closest medallion next to each other are the 1994 and 1986 medallions...
only about .05 mile in between the 2 placements....
that is not far...like about 200-400 feet.
1) Rec Centers (like I know which one)
2) Highland
3) Swede
4) B.C./cherokey -tie
Also I found something Bent, smack in the middle, and within veiw of those 2 street signs.
And this writer seems to like trees.

Saw a guy out grooming trials... Not much snow to groom.
Where was this teacher when I was in school??
I like the Rec idea also, they would never give up too much in the way of landmarks or distinguishing characteristics when your dealing with small parks, which is what I believe we could be dealing with here.
bbl
only about 6,000,000 sq feet to search in highland...
they should be done today...heh
I'm being really cautious as to narrowing down parks just yet. I like HP, probably because it's close. When I was at Crosby so early last year, I was just lucky. I wanted it to be there because of the firepit, and my state of mind. BC sounds like fun, too. Plenty of hills. Perhaps they tossed the medallion into that ravine hoping hunters would chase some of the excess deer out of the park.
If it's HP, my deduction is that it would be in the wedge east of Antonio down to w.7th.
